Scope of Work:

The MCCLL publishes and archives lessons learned materials to include observations, insights, lessons, trends, and associated recommendations to include after action reports (AARs) and all Marine Corps lessons-related briefs and reports. These efforts support the MCLLP and inform training and education; doctrine; planning for exercises, deployments and operations; the combat capability development process; and issue resolution. MCCLL focuses on identifying gaps (issues) and best practices; informing the improvement of tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) of immediate importance to the Fleet Marine Forces (FMF); informing Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) and the Supporting Establishment (SE), and recommending solutions across both the doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P) areas and the warfighting functions.

The scope of this effort is to provide program management and planning, lessons learned program support and collections, analysis and report production, and content management and transcription related to the MCLLP.

The tasks outlined in the PWS will be performed on the Marine Corps Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) and Marine Corps Secured Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET). Information at the unclassified level up to and including Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) level will be processed on the NIPRNET utilizing Marine Corps assigned email accounts (@usmc.mil), and information systems on the .mil domain. Information at the classified level up to and including SECRET level will be processed on the SIPRNET utilizing Marine Corps assigned email accounts (@usmc.smil.mil) and information systems on the smil.mil domain. The average level of effort for tasks performed either on the SIPRNET or NIPRNET is roughly two-thirds NIPRNET, and one-third SIPRNET, but will fluctuate depending on specific tasks assigned at any time. Due to the necessity for conducting classified (up to Secret level) collections and analysis initiatives, there may occur the requirement to physically carry classified equipment and material between two locations. Consequently, there may arise the requirement for a government issued courier card for authorized transport of classified equipment/material on such occasions.

Primary tasks include: ensuring that units have or are aware of the lessons, best practices, trends and TTPs that they need to plan for scheduled events and contingency operations; that units provide after actions reports after major events; that embedded lessons learned PAs plan and perform the formal lessons learned data collections on the units within their purview; that MAGTF SAs and the Trend Analyst support collection initiatives, provide a full range of content analysis/trend analysis per the Marine Corps annual Lessons Learned Collection Campaign Plan resulting in published MCCLL formal reports; provide trend analysis of AARs and other lessons learned materials resulting in published MCCLL Warfighting Function Trend reports; provide records/data management for all content archived in the classified and unclassified MCCLL websites and Service content in the Joint Lessons Learned Information System (JLLIS) websites, manage the currency and organization of the MCCLL websites and provide web portal (JLLIS) administration to support the MCLLP as established in MCO 3504.1A; and provide transcription support for recorded interviews and other recorded events as necessary.

The Contractor shall administer a sound, thoroughly planned, and documented program management approach to providing lessons learned analyses and liaison support at designated Marine Corps commands and organizations, research and analysis support, editorial support, records content management, and transcription support.
